So here goes:
There is a recipe to make ginger ale which involves filling a cup with Sprite, then adding two splashes of Coke from the fountain machine. This is used at my college specifically for the 21 oz. drink cups they sell, so this may differ depending on what size cup you are filling.
Now, we all know that by doing something to both sides of an function, you do not change the value of said function. So let's write it out:
. Coke + Sprite = Ginger Ale
By multiplying both sides of the equation by "Diet," we in effect change nothing.
. Diet (Coke + Sprite) = Diet Ginger Ale
Using the distributive property, we can simplify this equation.
. Diet Coke + Diet Sprite = Diet Ginger Ale
Sounds perfect, yes? No. This is disproved among tasting the concoction.
. Diet Coke + Diet Sprite = Diet Ginger Ale? NO.
. Diet Coke + Diet Sprite = Tastes like shit.
How is this mathematically possible you ask? Some would argue that Diet Coke and Diet Sprite taste like shit, so in effect, Diet Ginger Ale would taste like shit.
. Tastes like shit + Tastes like shit = 2 (Tastes like shit)
In reality, the end product tastes much worse than this. At least 10x as bad, if not more (This value is not yet discovered, but is believed to be an irrational number similar to pi).
I'm sure to get a lot of criticism for my findings, just as most scientific discoveries do. I blame society for its fear of change. Don't even try to disprove it. Any posts attempting to do so will be ignored by myself and the rest of the scientific community.
Keep toking. :rastasmoke:
